Pricing and Availability
What does a 2027 Grand Sport cost once destination is added?
A 1LT coupe is $88,495 delivered, made up of the $86,000 base and the $2,495 destination charge. A 3LT coupe is $100,245 on the same basis. Tax, title, licence and dealer fees are separate.
Why do I see two different prices quoted for the same car?
Because some sources quote before destination and some after. The $86,000 figure excludes it; the $88,495 figure includes it. Both describe the same 1LT coupe. Always check which basis a quoted price uses before comparing two of them.
Is the Grand Sport hard to get?
Corvette allocation is limited, so cars that reach the lot move quickly and most specific builds are ordered rather than found. Starting the conversation early is how you get the colour and seat combination you want.
What is the cheapest way into a new Corvette?
Within the Grand Sport range, the 1LT coupe at $86,000 is the most accessible way in, and it carries the same 535-horsepower engine and the same chassis as the 3LT.
Engines and Performance
What does LS6 mean?
It is Chevrolet's name for the new-generation 6.7L small-block V8 in the Grand Sport. It is naturally aspirated, displaces 409 cubic inches and runs a 13.0:1 compression ratio, the highest Chevrolet has used in a Corvette V8.
Is this the most powerful standard engine Chevrolet has put in a Corvette?
Yes, that is how Chevrolet describes it. At 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft, its torque figure is the highest of any naturally aspirated production V8 the company has built.
Does the Grand Sport share its engine with any other Corvette?
Chevrolet puts the LS6 in the Grand Sport X alongside a front electric axle, and has confirmed the same engine for the 2027 Stingray.
What is Active Fuel Management?
A system that shuts down cylinders under light load, such as a steady cruise. It is standard on the LS6 and works alongside direct and port injection.
Where is the engine built?
The LS6 is built at Flint Engine Operations in Michigan, and the car is assembled at Bowling Green in Kentucky.
Features and Technology
Can I charge my phone without a cable?
Yes. A wireless charging pad sits in the centre console and is standard on every equipment level, alongside standard wireless phone projection.
What are the drive modes for?
They change how the car responds, and they work with Performance Traction Management, which manages wheel slip. The Performance App can be configured to graph output in real time over whatever interval you pick.
Do I need a laptop to use the lap timer?
No. The Performance Data Recorder, standard from 2LT, handles recording, coaching tips, lap analysis and side-by-side video entirely on the car's own displays.
Which seats can I order?
GT1 in Mulan leather, GT2 in Napa leather with carbon-fibre trim and a seatback halo, or the Competition Sport seat with performance textile in the high-wear areas. The asymmetrical interiors also unlock a mixed pairing: Competition Sport for the driver, GT2 alongside.
Trim Differences
Is the 3LT worth it over the 2LT?
The $4,650 step buys standard GT2 Napa leather seats, a custom leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors, sueded microfiber upper trim and 14 interior colour combinations. If you were going to order the GT2 seat on a 2LT anyway, the 3LT is the tidier way to get there.
Does the entry car feel like a base model inside?
The 1LT carries eight-way power GT1 seats in genuine leather, a 10-speaker Bose system, a wireless charger and the rear camera mirror. It is specified as a complete car rather than a stripped one.
What is the difference between the two performance packages?
Z52 Sport is the road-biased one, pairing uprated brakes with a high-performance tyre. Step up to Z52 Track and the brakes become carbon-ceramic, the tyres become Cup 2 R, and the quad centre exhaust and carbon-fibre aero kit come with it.
Service and Ownership
How long is the factory coverage?
Bumper-to-bumper cover runs three years or 36,000 miles, the powertrain is covered for five years or 60,000 miles, and rust-through protection lasts six years or 100,000 miles.
What will wear out first on this car?
Tyres, and by a wide margin, because the fitment is staggered with 20-inch fronts and 21-inch rears. Which tyre you choose at order matters more to running cost than anything else, and the service page goes through it.
Does the equipment level change what the car costs to run?
No. All three share the same engine, transaxle, suspension and standard brakes. Running cost is set by tyre and brake specification and by how the car is driven.
Can I leave it parked for weeks at a time?
Yes, and most Corvettes here do. Use a battery maintainer, and remember the oil still needs changing at least once a year with a system reset even if the mileage is low.
Buying at Jim Norton T-Town Chevrolet
Where are you located?
4924 S Memorial Dr, Tulsa, OK 74145. We sit on South Memorial Drive straight off the Broken Arrow Expressway, and the Creek Turnpike puts us within an easy drive of Broken Arrow and Sand Springs.
Can I take one out on the road before I commit?
Yes, where stock allows. Book a test drive and we will have the car ready rather than have you wait for it to be prepared.
Can I get approved before I choose a car?
Yes, and on an allocation-limited car it is the sensible order to do things in. Get pre-approved first and the build conversation moves faster.
What is my current car worth against one?
Start with an online figure using our trade valuation tool, then bring the car in so we can confirm it. We buy vehicles whether or not you buy one from us.
How does ordering a Grand Sport work?
We take your specification, place it against our allocation and keep you updated through build and transit. Colour, stripe and hash combinations, seat choice and packages are all decided at that point, which is why ordering early is worth doing.
Do you have Corvettes in stock right now?
Current stock is listed live. See every Grand Sport we have or check Grand Sport X availability.
Do I have to buy locally to service locally?
No. We service Corvettes bought anywhere, with factory-trained technicians and genuine GM parts. Schedule service whenever you need it.
Is it worth driving over from Broken Arrow or Sand Springs?
Corvette allocation is not evenly spread, so the car you want may sit at one store and not another. We are a short run across town either way, and we will tell you honestly over the phone whether we have what you are after before you set off.
Can I protect the car beyond the factory coverage?
Yes. Protection plans extend cover beyond the manufacturer warranty, and pre-paid maintenance fixes scheduled service costs up front.
Who do I talk to about a Corvette specifically?
Call the store on 918-921-4885 and ask for the Corvette specialist, or send us a message. If you are weighing the rear-drive car against the all-wheel-drive one, the Grand Sport versus Grand Sport X page lays both out.
